With the announcement of the messenger, all the Ji family members in the restaurant stood up solemnly, ready to welcome the arrival of the head of the family.

When Ren Fei saw this scene, he had to give up teaching the two brothers Ji Ping, and stood up with everyone and looked at the position at the door.

After a while, there was a energetic old man striding into the hall, although his face was no longer young, but his posture and appearance did not show any old age, if you scan it with a divine thought, you can see the vigorous spirit from its heavenly spirit point straight to the sky, as if just over thirty years old.

This old man with extraordinary demeanor is the contemporary head of the Ji family, Ji Lingxuan's own grandfather, and the god-level ancestor of the Three Emperors Hall of the Holy Land - Ji Zhongzheng.

I saw that after he entered the hall, he scanned the surroundings with a fierce gaze, but all the clansmen who were swept by him were silent, terrified, for fear that they would do something bad and let the head of the family, who was known for his severity, punish him.

After a cursory glance at the clansmen attending the dinner, Ji Zhongzheng walked towards the most central position, and behind him was the most powerful descendant of the Ji family, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, who was seven feet tall, looked better than Pan An, and had a dignified appearance, which was the son of the Ji family and Ji Lingxuan's biological father - Ji Zixuan.

When this person entered the hall, he also followed Ji Zhongzheng's example, scanning the whole hall, wanting to know how many clansmen had come, but when he saw Ren Fei's position, his face suddenly showed a trace of doubt, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Feeling his father's burning gaze from afar, Ren Fei hurriedly lowered his face so as not to be recognized by him, but fortunately, the other party did not look at him for too long, and was interrupted by the eldest son next to him, Ji Zhanhua: "Father, grandpa has already sat down, why don't you hurry up and follow?"

Hearing this, Ji Zixuan withdrew his gaze, smiled self-deprecatingly, and sat down at the table in the center of the restaurant with several descendants.

The head of the family has arrived, the banquet will begin immediately, and Ji Zhongzheng gently waved his hand to make all the clansmen who were standing sit down, and then said loudly: "On the occasion of the Ji family festival, the old man specially set up a dinner party for all the clansmen who came from afar. By the way, I also want to know what achievements and contributions you have made to the family during this year, or what gains and losses you have had. ”

Hearing his grandfather's speech, Ren Fei couldn't help but smile slightly, and said in his heart: "The main event is here." ”

In Ji Lingxuan's memory, although she rarely participates in festivals or gatherings at home, she still knows some rules.

For example, the merit report before this banquet, although it is a summary of the family's gains and losses in a year, is actually just to screen out some useful collateral and then eliminate those useless collateral to make the family more prosperous. I think that the two brothers Ji Ping and Ji Fang must have been favored by their descendants in the report a few years ago, so they will have the privilege of freely entering and leaving the Ji family's palace.

However, in this way, the pre-banquet report has evolved into a battlefield for all parties to compare, and everyone is holding back, waiting for a blockbuster.

Feeling this atmosphere full of gunpowder, Ji Zhongzheng was also accustomed to it, he glanced at the expressions of everyone, some seemed to have a chance to win, and some were uneasy, and with a wave of his hand, the report officially kicked off.

According to the usual practice, it is generally started with a side branch with a lower bloodline, and since most of the five generations of clansmen are not eligible to participate in the family banquet, in fact, the first to report is also the fourth generation side branch.

However, these side clansmen who are far away from the center of power, although they also have the Ji family as the backstage, but because of their own weak strength, they can't make much waves, even if some of the three generations of side branches have made a lot of contributions, then Ji Zhongzheng only nodded slightly, even if it was praise.

But after the turn of the second generation, the atmosphere on the scene obviously became warmer, as a clansman second only to the descendants, these side branches with extremely high blood almost control all aspects of the Ji family, and their status is obviously much higher than that of the previous generations.

"This year, among our family, there have been many young people with extremely high talents, and there are even a few who have entered the Three Emperors Hall to cultivate. ”

At this time, the speaker was an old man in his sixties, his name was Ji Yicai, and he was an important minister responsible for cultivating talents in the clan.

After listening to this report, Ji Zhongzheng immediately showed a very rare smile on his face, nodded and praised: "Very good, Yicai, you did a good job." ”

was praised by the head of the family in public, Ji Yicai's heart immediately blossomed, but because the occasion was more serious, he was not happy, he forcibly suppressed the joyful emotion, pretended to be pampered and humbled and said modestly: "This is not the credit of me alone, but also the result of the joint efforts of the Ji family, especially our eldest son Ji Zhanhua, with his rare talent in a century, the cultivation level of our clan has been raised as a whole." ”

He said cautiously, but he slapped the sycophant to the point, in this Ji family, who doesn't know that the head of the family loves Ji Zhanhua, the eldest grandson, the most, and has high hopes for him.

"Zhanhua, he is indeed the pride of our clan. ”

Sure enough, when Ji Zhongzheng heard others praising his grandson, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Zhanhua can successfully get out of Ji Lingxuan's shadow and rise quickly, which is also a fortunate thing in the family." ”

He smiled like this, but inadvertently mentioned the name that was considered taboo, which made Ji Zhanhua hear this, and couldn't help but change his face and pull down his face.

And next to it, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged beautiful woman saw her ugly face, and couldn't help but interject: "Father, you praise Zhanhua, why mention that witch, my son can become the first genius in the clan, all by his own efforts, what does it have to do with that Ji Lingxuan?"

When this beautiful woman said this in a mean tone, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and even Ren Fei, who had always been very low-key, immediately stared at this woman, with resentment in his eyes.

This daughter is Ji Zixuan's wife, Ji Zhanhua's mother - Shantai Jinyun.

The origin of this Shantai Jinyun is very great, and its maiden family, the Shantai family, is a first-class immortal cultivator family backed by the Holy Land Intercepting Heaven Dao Sect, even compared with the Ji family, its strength is not too much, even if it is the head of the Ji family, he also concedes three points to this daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Na Ji Zhongzheng was interjected, and he didn't show the slightest annoyance, but sighed softly: "Hey, speaking of Lingxuan, it's a pity for this female doll." ”

"Originally, with her talent, she could also make a difference in the fairy world, but my granddaughter is a stubborn temper, the old man wants her to become Zhanhua's right and left hand, but she hides in the Three Emperors Hall to practice alone, and even makes a big rebellion such as cultivating magic skills!"
